-To realize the full benefits of the mTLS security model, obtain your transport certificates from a certificate authority that only issues certificates to {{es}} nodes which are permitted to connect to your cluster. Do not use a public certificate authority, nor an organization-wide private certificate authority, because such certificate authorities issue certificates to entities other than the {{es}} nodes which are permitted to connect to your cluster. Public certificate authorities generally do not issue certificates with an Extended Key Usage extension that omits the `clientAuth` value and therefore cannot be used for mTLS anyway. The recommended best practice is to use a different private certificate authority for each {{es}} cluster.
